Hannibal as a general. Considering he crossed the Med Sea and the Pyrenee and Alps Mountains to attack Rome from the landward side was amazing. Also consider logistically, he had little if any support from Carthage after he left Africa. Rommel would be second from this list. His situation was the reverse as he led the Afrika Corps in Northern Africa with little if any support from Germany. His supply line was basically cut off also.
Say what you want about Hitler. As a leader, he was able to bring Germany from the economic abyss of the Weimar Republic to economic and military success. Technologically, the Third Reich was way ahead of the other European powers and the U.S. Unfortunately, heand his croniescommitted horrific atrocities.
